Tried Yudit... [Jun. 20th, 2002|03:52 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell A Friend Next Entry
[Current Mood | embarrassed]

Tried to copy-n-paste the following string from yudit to mozilla: "Hello, shalom, zdraste" with "shalom" in Hebrew and "zdraste" in Russian. Result:

---x---
‬, здрасте

‮שלומ

Hello,
---x---

Fuck! It does not seem to properly process some (but not all!) BiDi directives. the result is what you can (?) read here. May be mozilla's fault too.

Oh no. :-)

Update: Yes, must be Mozilla. Opera does not understand BiDi, apparently, and happily writes

---x---
Hello, ‮שלומ‬, здрасте!
---x---

It also shows "strange" characters on both sides of the ‮שלומ‬ thing. Which means that Yudit must have put them there.

Hmm.

Now consider this ("more," was written in reverse):

---x---
hello, тАоmore,тАм final
---x---

I don't know what to think. Time to turn in.

В конце слова "шалом" должна быть мэм софит.

I know, but I did not know how to find it on the keyboard. My point was not to learn how to write Hebrew, but how to write BiDi. :-)

It seems what is not working is the text entry form. Even if I paste Hebrew separately -- ‮עברית

-- but the rest is garbage.

As I said, fuck! :-)

Cema,

Sorry for off-topic... how can I post to Rus DC LJ? Or may I? :)

Looks like we gotta set a firm time for the party and let people disagree - otherwise we can be BS-ing forever. For instance:

"Russian DC LJ users party will be held on Sunday, June 23, at 2 pm, at one of the curbside tables at FoodBar, corner of 17th and R, NW, DC. Invited: all Russian LJ users that can make it, members of their households (regardless of the number of legs), other Russian friends at the discretion of LJ users.

Wrong time? Wrong place? Please let us know ASAP with DETAILED counterproposals"

Tipa vot...

To post in a community, become its member. Click on the icon in [info]ru_dc@lj and then click on the words "join this community" or some such. (There is no special button for this; UI is a bit inconsistent.)

The rest is here...

В каталоге /etc/X11/xkb/symbols есть файл il. Я сделал его копию под именем il_group3 (в том же каталоге) и в ней изменил строку Group2 на Group3. После этого, кажется, нужно один раз запустить "xkbseldb -R" (как root).

В файле конфигурации X в секции клавиатуры у меня стоит: Option "XkbKeycodes" "xfree86" Option "XkbTypes" "default" Option "XkbCompat" "group_led" Option "XkbSymbols" "us(pc102)+ru(winkeys)+il_group3(basic)+group(alt_shift_toggle)+group(switch)"

Теперь я могу переключать клавиатуру между английским, ивритом и русским, нажимая . Можно писать прямо в Мозилле на любом из этих языков. Лампочка scroll lock загорается когда клавиатура не английская.

У [info]trurle@lj на сайте есть файл для "фонетической" русской раскладки, но я им не пользуюсь.

Спасибо. Я уже присматривался.

А yudit вроде хорош и сам по себе, да вот только...
